Talk:Diminished octave

Examples?
In what context would one use a diminished octave? Hyacinth 10:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * A diminished octave occurs when you have B♮ under a B♭, for example. This occurs often enough in common practice. In C minor, you might have a diminished seventh chord B-D-F-A♭, and the A♭ might by embellished with an auxiliary B♭: melodically, A♭-B♭-A♭. And there are many similar cases that could be mentioned.

Diatonic interval?
As the article stands, a reader would come away from it with the assurance that the diminished octave is a diatonic interval. (Read, checking for occurrences of the word diatonic.) Is this a good idea? In at least one sense the interval is diatonic, but in other senses it is not (see Diatonic and chromatic). Perhaps this needs some work.
